SRI LANKA - Britain's shameful complicity in Sri Lanka's torture.

When it first emerged that Britain had knowingly allowed terrorist suspects
to be illegally rendered to third party states to be tortured in the early half
of the last decade the story made national headlines. How could Britain, a
supposedly liberal democracy and bastion of human rights, deliberately allow
someone to be transported towards regimes they knew would abuse
them?

Sadly we’re still doing it to this day. The
only people that dispute the allegation that torture is rampant in Sri Lanka is
the country’s notoriously bullish government who - after the defeat of the Tamil
Tiger insurgency in 2009 – feel both impervious and above international law.
